This was my first mural in which I had completed in the
summer of 2003. It
was my wife’s best friend’s son and I think it goes
without saying that she was trying to
create a shore like décor throughout his nursery.
Considering that the father is from the New England
area, I tried to create a shoreline terrain that was
textured and colored very similar to the northerly
topography found in that particular region.

I
also wanted to try and
create
a perspective that was
looking over the horizon
from a much higher
elevation than one at ground level.
This
way the viewer could feel him or herself at
an eyelevel
even higher than the lighthouse and would even be able
to view the seagulls flying by close enough as if they
could just reach out and touch them. |
